"Eye, confirm. Elvis is in New Balkan City, isn't he?"

"Affirmative, Elvis Barca is in New Barca."

"Alright. I think the assassin is going to come after me directly, but just tell Elvis about it.Maybe Elvis and others could be targeted. "

"No problem. Reported to Elvis Barca when flying a tracking bird.I was instructed to check closely when entering New Balkans. "

"Well, that's a quick job.Okay, let's do another job.The variant eye, get off the ground and speak to the inhabitants over there.They want to come to the city, they want to get mad, they want to come now. "

"I understand. Start transferring power from variants."

"Oh, please. And check the faces and names of the senators who agreed to send me an assassin.They will never forgive me. "

I heard from Eye on the ship about the assassin, and I'll tell him what to do.

One was against the new Balkan city where Elvis was.

This is because I don't really know what an assassin is.

It would be nice if you came straight for me, but it would be troublesome to use a glare.

Also, I don't know if there's ever been a kidnapping of Meatier or anything.

You should be vigilant.

At the same time, I decided to have the eye in the variant move.

Far north of here, the variant lies at the foot of a mountain called the Great Snow Mountain or the Spiritual Peak, which is very high.

I'll gather people from there and send them.

Of course, there will be many young men coming to us from there, not old people and children.

I mean, replenishing mercenaries.

"Hold on, Commander Alphonse.What does it mean to attract people from variants?You mean as a mercenary? "

"Yes, Walter. There are still few mercenaries in the Vulcan Mercenary Regiment.This is because I kept my numbers down to feed the mercenaries.You said you needed to get the mercenaries to feed you.But I grew up in the distance thinking I could use it in times of need. "

"Really? Maybe they can use Watch Practice too?"

"Oh, actually, I've been sending some of them over before.So, I named him [Watch Practice], and the young mercenary candidate who was able to rename him with a variant taught him the sword, bow, and then the movement of the organization as a group.Well, Elvis was working out there originally.Even if you bring them here, they should be able to incorporate them into the Vulcan mercenary regiment with some immediate force. "

"Does that mean you were thinking about fighting Orient?"

"I don't know, but I'd say if you were prepared, you wouldn't get sick.Otherwise, the Balkan mercenary regiment is small, so we need to keep it that way. "

The Balkan mercenary regiment is still weak.

With Ian, the warrior of Atmos, it was becoming well known in this part of the country.

In fact, the surrounding countries are supposed to be weak, and the Orient countries have not faced a major battle in the last few years.

Still, the mercenary regiment is small.

I have heard of mercenary groups that have taken over cities in other countries, but some are larger than others.

Well, there are doubts as to whether such a place is properly organized, but numbers are still just.

However, it is also different whether it is better to increase the number only.

Because even with the same number of people, the strength of the group varies greatly depending on its composition.

If there were such a thing as a knight or a nobleman, it would be literally a thousand rather than a hundred manpower alone.

With that in mind, what happens when we look at the current situation of the Balkan mercenary regiment?

Our home city of New Barca is about 500 strong, Ian and Elvis.

And the closest thing to such a new Balkan city is Orient Country, which is an urban state.

Somehow there are thousands of troops there that can be mobilized.

And even though it's a weak country, senators like Banaj and others have magical amounts comparable to knights and nobles.

In addition to that, we have a long-range weapon called the Orient Magic Bow.

Looking at it as an organizational strength, Orient Country would be better now.

It is said that such an Orient nation has unleashed an assassin.

This is strange as usual.

If you really want to blame us for attacking the lumber mill in Gloria, you can just call me in.

Alternatively, if you want to endanger the Balkan mercenary regiment, you can attack the city without escaping this plane, which is away from my base.

No, there must be a reason you're sending an assassin to kill me.

Maybe you want the magic equipment and the church in New Balkans.

I mean, there's a good chance he's not going to fight the Vulcan mercenaries, even if he's trying to get rid of me.

But I'm not.

As long as you're after my life, you'll have to assume it's totally hostile.

Then we need to be ready to fight Orient.

For that, I would like a little more headcount, if possible.

Could it take a while for reinforcements to arrive from the variant?

By then, an assassin will come to me.

Let's take it down or catch it, get proof that the Orient Nation is after my life, and then we'll fight back.

Let Elvis prepare for it.

When I got to the shore of the Gru River, I got off the ship and laughed without thinking about my future battle with the Orient.
